10 Worst Simultaneous WWE/WCW Heavyweight Champions
7. Hulk Hogan/Lex Luger (1991)
Hulk Hogan and Lex Luger had the bodies that once defined what it meant to be a top draw in mainstream wrestling as they carried both WWE and WCW in 1991, but they were both cursed by not being a man that didn't look anything like them. By not being 'The Man'.
Before Becky Lynch there was Ric Flair, and before Ric Flair left WCW in the summer of that year, he was their unnassailable top star.
Bookers had tried and (partially) failed with Sting as the next all-encompassing figurehead in much the same way WWE had attempted to supplant Hulk Hogan with the Ultimate Warrior, but both examples ended with the belt back around the waist of the old reliable. In WWE, this complicated matters as Hogan grew stale. Down south, the problem was critical when Flair grew sick of their sh*t.
Finally signing with Vince McMahon after a blow-up too far with clueless company chief Jim Herd, Flair left the organisation without a credible titleholder (and, for a short while, the literal title) forcing Lex Luger to receive proto-Roman Reigns responses of "We Want Flair" whenever he wrestled. Hogan, meanwhile would feel the backlash of 'The Nature Boy's arrival - by the 1992 Royal Rumble, he was loudly booed as 'Slick Ric' scooped his vacated title.
